TRACCE

New routes of graphic art

Abstract

Review of the illustrated book “TRACCE. Nuovi percorsi dell’ Arte Grafica”, an unpublished collection of poems by Marco Vitale in a bilingual Italian-Spanish edition. The volume is the first published work of the homonymous inter-institutional project between the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV, Spain) and the Academia di Belle Arti L’Aquila (ABAQ, Italy). An investigation that begins with a cultural exchange in November 2023, based on a series of meetings and conferences between these two educational entities, from which this editorial collaboration has derived in order to address not only the specific realities of each institution but to the commitment to diverse graphic languages and to disciplinary transversality in contemporary art. In this way, book and project merge in a series of collaborations that show points of convergence to offer an intermediary initiative of encounter between verses and images.
